The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

For two days, I was on top of an ebay auction at $22.21 with my max bid at $30. Four hours before it ends, some bastard bids $30.01. Not I have to up it to $35 and watch it like a hawk for the next couple hours.

Increase your max bid to something like $35.26 or $35.51. When people don't what to go much higher they'll bid in small increments - by 25 cents or 50 cents. Making something .26 or .51 instead of .00 or .25 means if they're doing that they'll have to bid twice to get over you instead of just once. If they try to bid you out at the last minute they might not end up getting it at all because of that.

bumped it up .26.

I don't want to finish this reading for the class I have in 35 minutes. It's all about how every white person is to blame for all post-colonial turmoil and anything bad that has ever happened in Africa.

[futuresailors]

Why not bump it up like $4?

Why did people even write pre-1800?

Tyger, Tyger, burning bright,
Go suck a dick
With all your might.

Yeah but you know, that's pretty much true.

Being white is awesome. If you aren't white, you are seriously missing out on the awesomeness!

[D.o.S.]

I definitely know there are a whole lot of benefits to white privilege.

Doesn't mean that we shouldn't be aware of the system that's been in place, or attempt to change it.

Oh, as far as Spite, Rage, and other things are concerned, there was a Phish show last night one town over. Not a problem, on the face of it, but since my room was full of paint I slept on the couch. Or, tried to sleep, as I listened to a post-show party next door rage until 4.

Which was cool, but I had to be up at 8 today.

Every day takes longer than the one before it. The same goes for weeks, months, and years. Time goes by so slowly I feel like I must be 80 by now.

Isn't time supposed to seem like it's going by faster as you age?

When I was in high school I'd always think as many as three days had gone by each day. Now, by the end of a day I sometimes think that it's the end of the day a week later. I have to remind myself it's not.

^ i feel the same way. probably because i'm doing more

[snipelfritz]

Why not bump it up like $4?

My max bid was up like $4, I just made it $4.26.

OMG less than 5 minutes, I'm nervous.

Also, I didn't get a chance to talk to the girl I'm digging on today. We did kind of smile at each other from across the room but...

Seven motherfucking seconds before it ends, somebody outbids me by a dollar! Seven Seconds! Son of a Bitch!

That happened to me on a sound city.

Use that $25 on one of your new ladyfriends.

Of course, that might lead to another chorus of "Seven Seconds! Son of A Bitch!"
